Dressed as a paranoid male supporting white moonlight

Chapter 40
At the summer banquet, Princess Jiayun looked down on Duan Wenchun, but had a good impression of Yu Lantao.

She had carefully observed the women of the right age present today, and only Yu Lantao's speech and behavior were three points similar to Jiang Xian's, which made her feel good.But I didn't expect that he was a black heart who had no use!
He dared to act presumptuously under her nose before he had even written his horoscope, he simply didn't take her seriously!Such a person, is it really worth being a daughter-in-law?
The more Jiayun County Master thought about it, the more angry he became, and his breathing became a little difficult.

Seeing this, Jiang Xian hurriedly supported her arm, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, it's just a trivial matter, there is no need to get angry. It's not worth getting angry."

Princess Jiayun calmed down a little when she heard Jiang Xian's voice.

She cleared Duan Wenchun's innocence in public, and ordered the left and right generals to temporarily detain Lantao and the maid until the rest of the guests had dispersed, then led Zijuan and others to the backyard for interrogation in private.

Qin Suixing and Qin Yanfeng had disappeared. Jiang Xian was afraid that the princess would come to her for something, so she stood at the bottom of the steps outside the house and waited for orders.

Jiang Xian looked at the sky above the house, where a bright full moon happened to hang.

No stars, no clouds, cool evening breeze.

Another fine day tomorrow.

Cui Nong stood beside Jiang Xian, looked up at the sky with her, and said with a bright smile: "Young Madam, it's fortunate that you are smart, otherwise Miss Duan will suffer an injustice today." She sighed, very puzzled , "I didn't expect that thief to be the eldest lady of the Yu family."

Jiang Xian's body is thin, she gathered her purple gauze shirt, recalling the scene just now, she couldn't help praising Cui Nong again and again: "I'm not smart, I'm lucky."

She originally thought that the thief was Mrs. Li, but later found out that she had guessed wrong, and the clue of the three-color mud was broken again.

"Fortunately, you arrived in time with the footprints, otherwise I don't know how to end up." Jiang Xian asked curiously again, "By the way, where did you find the footprints?"

"No, no." Cui Nong waved her hands quickly when she heard this.

She looked around, whispered to Jiang Xian's ear, "Young Madam, you don't know, those footprints... are actually mine."

Jiang Xian was stunned, "What?"

She thought she heard it wrong, "You said... are your footprints?"

Cui Nong nodded.

She pursed her dry lips, and said word by word: "Actually, this matter is thanks to the Eldest Young Master."

Originally, Jiang Xian ordered Cui Nong to ask the servants to guard all the exits of Yuguo Duke's mansion, so as to catch the turtle in the pot.Cui Nong acted according to plan, and met Qin Yanfeng on the way back to his mission.

Qin Yanfeng paced back and forth outside Princess Jiayun's courtyard, looking preoccupied.

Cui Nong hurriedly stepped forward to ask him what he was doing here, but Qin Yanfeng said pitifully that he wanted to help Jiang Xian find out who was behind the scenes.

Speaking of this, Cui Nong said with emotion: "Young madam, the eldest son is usually lukewarm to you, but I didn't expect to care about you in private."

Jiang Xian was very surprised.

She thought about Qin Yanfeng, who was usually silent, and her younger brother Jiang Yue, and couldn't help laughing slightly.

"and then?"

"Then I saw the eldest son bending over to look for something on the ground. I asked him what he was looking for. The eldest son said that it would be great if he could find the thief's footprints."

Cui Nong carried the oiled paper lantern, and called the servants and maids to help them find it, but they only found a little trace of the three-color mud, which was incomplete.When Cui Nong was about to give up, he heard Qin Yanfeng mumbling to himself, "Actually, you can just find any footprints to scare that person, just like how my mother used to scare me when I didn't eat..."

Although there was a discrepancy in meaning, Cui Nong immediately realized it.

Cui Nong gesticulated to Jiang Xian with joyful eyebrows, "Slaves think about it for a second, isn't it! First, take a random footprint and pretend to find hard evidence. When comparing them, the thieves will definitely panic, and panic will show their feet..."

Now Jiang Xian has figured out the ins and outs.

Cui Nong presumptuously used fake footprints to deceive people, and Yu Lantao's maid was really deceived by this trick.

Assuming that maid is calm and calm, this method will fail.As a result of the failure, Duan Wenchun was still suspected of being a thief, and she, Jiang Xian, would also gain a reputation of covering up.

However, fortunately, luck was on the heroine's side.

"How courageous you are!" Jiang Xian couldn't laugh or cry, stretched out her index finger and tapped Cui Nong's forehead lightly, "I'm not afraid to mistake you for a thief and catch you."

Cui Nong chuckled, "I didn't think so much at the time, I just wanted to help the Young Madam." She paused, "Besides, I believe that the Young Madam will protect Cui Nong."

"loquacious."

The master and servant were talking, and over there, Princess Jiayun had already interrogated Yu Lantao clearly.

After Jiang Xian entered the room, Yu Lantao and the maid were nowhere to be seen, and Princess Jiayun sat on the chair tiredly, resting her chest with her right hand.

"Xuan'er, you're here."

"Mother?" Jiang Xian looked around, "Where are Yu Lantao and the others?"

Princess Jiayun sighed, "Let them go." She patted the embroidered stool next to the chair, motioning for Jiang Xian to sit beside her, "Yu Lantao's family background is low, but her cousin is the jade concubine in the palace, no Looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, I don't want to lose face."

Yu Lantao's motive was very simple, to tarnish Duan Wenchun's reputation and win the chance to join Yuguo's government.

Princess Jiayun frowned, she asked softly: "Xuan'er, you said, I want to find a good wife for Suixing, did I do something wrong?"

Qin Suixing was almost slandered because of Duan Wenchun, and he said a lot of angry words, which made Princess Jiayun feel very uncomfortable.

"It's not wrong. But..." Jiang Xian's tone paused, "But don't worry, Sui Xing is young, maybe fate will follow."

Jiang Xian didn't want Princess Jiayun to be troubled by these things.

Seeing the broken jadeite bracelet in the princess's hand, she hurriedly said, "Mother, I know that there is a craftsman in the capital who is very skilled at repairing these jewels and jade objects. The patterns must be more beautiful than before."

Princess Jiayun looked down at the broken bracelet in her hand, and then turned her attention away from Qin Suixing's marriage.

She discussed with Jiang Xian how to repair the bracelet, and then sighed again: "Xuan'er, you are the most understanding. Yan Feng is not clear-headed, and it is his blessing from three lifetimes of cultivation to marry you." Said, "Yanfeng can't count on it. If you conceived children earlier and had children around your knees, you will not be alone for the rest of your life."

"Mother, with you here, how can I be lonely." Jiang Xian froze when she heard the words.She laughed dryly, played a sloppy eye, and muddled the topic away.
